New Moon in Cancer

A New Moon forms in the home and family oriented sign of Cancer on Sunday, 7/23/17. Cancer is all about feminine energy and centers on issues of home, motherhood, mothers, the past, your family, where you live now, where you have lived in the past and deals with relatives and your roots. The 4th sign of the zodiac deals with nurturing others, focusing more on our home lives, family and finds all signs becoming more concerned with where we live and our emotions become heightened during this time (Cancer is ruled by the Moon which rotates into another sign or house every 2.5 days, so emotions can run from hot to cold in seconds with this intuitive sensitive and sweet spirited sign of Cancer - that includes you too! It's the Cancer energy in the air and all signs will feel it). With a New Moon and the Sun also in Cancer should be feeling more optimist about their love lives, friendships, career and family life this week. Cancer is a water sign, so the water signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces will be dealing with new opportunities and offers more smoothly as water is compatible when mixed with water. Gemini and Sagittarius are in the love spotlight with Venus in Gemini. The only real interference this week is with Mercury in Leo, Saturn retrograde and Chiron retrograde, there could be personal and internal indecision about love, a sense of hibernation could suddenly overcome us and we might encounter conflict in the air among in our social circles. We will find that family is where it's at this week, regardless of your sun sign! With Venus in Gemini, Mars in Cancer and Mercury in Leo, there will be some serious changes on the romantic and social front this week. Mars in Cancer brings good but surprising news to Scorpio and Capricorn. Don't be surprised if people from your past continue to emerge this week and remember that cars, computers, conversations, travel and miscommunications will occur during this time. We can experience delays and Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn who will be dealing with some serious life changes, adjustments or seriously contemplating them.
